Quantum computers and classical HPC are traditionally “disparate systems [that] operate in isolation,” IBM researchers explain in a new paper. This can be “cumbersome,” because users have to manually orchestrate workflows, coordinate scheduling, and transfer data between systems, thus hindering productivity and “severely” limiting algorithmic exploration. But a hybrid approach can simplify the process of applying quantum computing to problems in areas like chemistry, materials science, and optimization, and “solve problems that were previously out of reach,” IBM says. The researchers describe quantum-centric supercomputing (QCSC) as evolving through three distinct phases: quantum systems as specialized compute offload engines within HPC…

When Rep. Leigh Finke spoke last month before the Minnesota House Commerce Finance and Policy Committee to testify against HF1434, a broad-sweeping proposal to age-gate the internet, she began with something disarming: agreement. “I want to support the basic part of this,” she said, the shared goal of protecting young people online. Because that is not controversial: everyone wants kids to be safe. But HF1434, Minnesota’s proposed age-verification bill, simply won’t “protect children.” It mandates that websites hosting speech that is protected by the First Amendment for both adults and young people to verify users’ identities, often through government IDs…
Google’s AI Overviews may be reducing traditional search clicks, but publishers still have meaningful growth opportunities in breaking news and Google Discover, according to new data from Define Media Group. Organic search clicks have fallen 42% since AI Overviews began expanding in Google Search, according to Define Media Group’s analysis of Google Search Console data across its portfolio of 64 sites. Why we care. AI-generated answers are reshaping search traffic. Evergreen content is losing clicks, while real-time news coverage and Discover distribution are emerging as stronger traffic channels for publishers. By the numbers.

A vulnerability in the Ally WordPress plugin, which is designed for adding accessibility features to websites, could be exploited to extract sensitive information from the databases of over 200,000 sites. Tracked as CVE-2026-2413 (CVSS score of 7.5), the bug is described as an SQL injection issue via the URL path and stems from user-supplied URL parameters in a certain method not being sufficiently sanitized. The sanitization mechanism fails to prevent the injection of SQL metacharacters such as single quotes and parentheses, WordPress security firm Defiant explains. “This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already…

Despite a recent historic legal victory, the fight against commercial spyware may be trending in the wrong direction.Spyware vendors over the past several years have been hit with economic sanctions, expensive lawsuits, increasing pressure, and even bans by governments, which provided some hope to security researchers and digital rights advocates that the industry was on its heels. Spyware, experts say, threatens not only journalists, human rights activists, and government officials who are frequently targeted in attacks, but also negatively impacts cybersecurity overall, as their zero-day exploits can be used by other threat actors for wider attacks.Arguably, the brightest sign yet…
